Why? Oh My God was clearly intended for another release. It wasn't worked on additionally in the mid-late 2000s for fun.

To re-do a song that was already released officially that wasn't all that great to begin with doesn't make any sense.

Not that I believe it, but now someone on 4chan is claiming Atlas Shrugged is actually the name of the album, and that the tracklist is:

1.Oh My God

2.Hard Skool

3.Atlas Shrugged

4.Perhaps

5.The General

6.Berlin

7.Seven

8.In This Grave

9.Absurd

10.Thyme

 

I think where this person blew any shred of passing this off as being believable was including Oh My God ( and its the first song )

Place your bets. Come tomorrow, will the band/Team Brazil/the label:

 

A) acknowledge any of this 

B) tuck their heads in the sand and ignore it

C) rush release the single to online retailers. 

D) Punish the fans some more and cancel the release completely.

I don't think they'll cancel the release, that would be a bigger screw up than whats happened so far. So I think A.B or C are possible.

Imagine if this band had really good management how much different this release ( or whatever this is) would have happened . When it actually does get officially released properly is this song going to go in any play rotation on Sirius/ XM/ terrestrial radio stations? I think GNR is capable of being more currently relevant than it is if the promotion was handled better with new music because even the redone  CD leftovers are very very good IMO..

I haven't been on this forum in ages, somehow I remembered my login info. But Perhaps sent me here....lol

At first listen its a good song, I couldn't make out any differentiation between what part of the solo was Robin and what was Slash, probably due to the cellphone quality version, no complaints on the solo from me I liked it,   I just don't understand why this band handles new music so badly as far as promotion and release is concerned. Its not like they're young kids who don't know any better.....

This song Is much more enjoyable to listen to live on this tour than It has been In a very long time.

Couldn't agree with you more on that.

To me, it just didn't sound right without Slash.

Slash Solo ( only got part of Godfather theme) 

Been to 4 shows over the last 10 years and this is the 1st one with Slash & Duff. By far the best show Ive been to. 

I recorded most of Nightrain-

On a side note, the Citrus Bowl was renamed Camping World Stadium today.  Kinda has a ring to it.......NOT.

Hope they will play. Get In The Ring, on the tour, it is very rare we hear that live :-(

I don't think they have ever played it live. It is my wife's favorite GNR song , oddly enough. 

I wish Richard would just stare at his shoes and be stationary.

  The industrial sound seems a bit dated  to me now, no drum loops!   Build around Slash's signature guitar style and go for an organic approach. Mix some 3-4 minute rockers that rip your face off along with some longer epic tunes.  Keep it to 1-2 ballads.

Most of the reviews I have come across have been positive, but here is probably the worst negative one I have seen.  The tragedy is that someone actually paid him to write this.

I'm sure this has been debated ad nauseum, but funny that GNR are called a hair metal band  when they really were a reaction to it and helped put the 1st nail in the coffin of hair metal.

Never did GA and dont think I ever will for many of the reasons noted by the other posters. Waiting all day with the hope of getting a good spot and not being able to leave to take a piss or grab a beer doesn't sound like fun. 

Getting tickets tomorrow.

 Ive not been to the Citrus Bowl since the '90's, but theyve  renovated the stadium couple of years ago. Be careful gunners, it is in a shitty area ( as many larger stadiums seem to be in general)

July 29th- Orlando, FL

Want to hear them play Locomotive. Signature Slash song , never played by the Nu Guns lineup.

I can't wait for DJ ASHBA Crunch breakfast cereal. That will be the next product he puts out.

Not as black as "Smell the Glove".

I like ADKOT a lot, mainly due to the harder rock sound. I like the production value better on ADKOT as one of my biggest complaints about CD is it is overproduced. But Roth does not come close to Axl's vocals and CD is more epic, so it just depends on what mood I am in as far as what I like better. Both are great albums.

I did not thing it was horrible, but not anything really great either. You cant really give it the full "Woodstock Hendrix" treatment in a setting such as a sporting event.

Slash is the one who quit GNR. This is a total dick move. And the fans get screwed again.

Would make perfect sense with the 2nd Vegas residency coming up. Its now or never for this. But yes Id not be surprised if it did not happen......

Guns N' Roses return to Vegas with 'No Trickery!'

Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY 3:03 a.m. EST February 18, 2014

Two years after its first residency, Guns N' Roses returns with the nine-show 'No Trickery! An Evening of Destruction'.

Fans with an appetite for destruction, here's your new happy meal.

Guns N' Roses is gearing up for a second run at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The band's return, dubbed No Trickery! An Evening of Destruction, comprises nine shows at The Joint: May 21, 24, 25, 28, 30 and 31 and June 4, 6 and 7.

GNR has crafted a new production to follow up its first engagement at the venue, 2012's loud, eye-popping and hit-packed Appetite for Democracy.

"If some is good, more is better!" Bobby Reynolds, vice president of booking for AEG Live Las Vegas, told USA TODAY. "That's our take on welcoming back Guns N' Roses to The Joint. Our first residency with GNR was fantastic in every way imaginable. The band and the fans loved the venue, and the business was great for everyone else involved. We want all of the Guns N' Roses fans across the globe to come see what one of the iconic rock 'n' roll bands can do when they have the best venue in the world to do it in, in a city made to party. We are gearing up for another epic residency."

Chas Smith, vice president of entertainment for Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, weighed in, "We are really looking forward to having one of the true American rock 'n' roll bands back and performing at The Joint. Every time we have Guns N' Roses play in The Joint, it just keeps getting better.

"What more can I say than it's a great honor to have one of the most iconic rock 'n' roll bands in the world coming back to rock The Joint for nine more shows! We are all excited about this next run."

GNR, which has sold more than 100 million albums globally since its formation in 1985, consists of founder/front man Axl Rose, guitarist DJ Ashba, guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, guitarist Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardist Dizzy Reed, keyboardist Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer. The band's most recent album is 2008's Chinese Democracy.
